Stephanie Adams-Santos

Stephanie Adams-Santos is a multidisciplinary artist working across poetry, screenwriting, illustration and ritual. Their work draws from the ancestral, mythological, and dream realms of inner life. They are the author of several poetry collections and chapbooks, including Dream of Xibalba (selected by Jericho Brown as winner of the 2021 Orison Poetry Prize; finalist for the 2024 Oregon Book Award and Lambda Literary Award) and Swarm Queen’s Crown (2016 Lambda finalist). Stephanie has written for film, radio, and television, and is currently developing Ojo de la Selva—a mythic, animist tarot deck for divining ancestral and ecological memory. Most importantly , Stephanie believes in art as a vital force of transformation and liberation — and stands for a free Palestine, the abolition of ICE, and the undoing of the fascist imagination.
